From our clients

  • My first tattoo was a sprig of lavender with Mika. She redrew it twice so the stems sat right on my wrist. It healed perfectly.

    Hannah K.First tattoo

  • Three sessions with Lupe for a traditional panther on my thigh. Clean, bold, and she finished within the hours she quoted.

    Andre W.Client since 2021

  • Celine covered a faded tribal piece from 2004 with an ornamental sleeve. You can’t see the old one at all.
